MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 507 wall ladder

So he put down the box he was holding and said to Du Jingyi with admiration in his eyes.

“It is no exaggeration to say that women are more delicate than flowers.”

Du Jingyi was prepared for her husband's sweet words from time to time, so he took a few steps forward and said while changing his clothes.

"The general is slipping again. Wash up quickly. We will celebrate Brother Tai's birthday later."

Gu Shaoyu is wearing official uniform today, so he has to look after it carefully to make sure it doesn't get wet or torn, which will cause trouble.

Therefore, after taking off his official uniform, Gu Shaoyu wore the same clothes. Yingying, who knew Gu Shaoyu's habits, immediately prepared clean clothes and sent them to the ottoman for storage.

 Before leaving, Gu Shaoyu handed the box to Du Jingyi and then said.

"This is the imperial edict. I will ask people to send it to the family temple later to offer it as an offering."

 “Sealed as a first-class public?”

"Um."

Du Jingyi nodded, then the imperial edict was indeed required.

After explaining the matter, Gu Shaoyu went straight to the ear room, and soon heard the sound of splashing. The masters and servants were all used to Gu Shaoyu's quick washing method, so they hurriedly prepared to wipe his hair. veil.

 After a while, Gu Shaoyu appeared with steam all over his body.

Hair was still as wet as ever. Shuxiu and Yingying worked together to dry his hair. Gu Shaoyu was not idle and started asking Du Jingyi.

 “How were you today?”

“With Grandma Guo’s guidance, nothing went wrong, but...”

 “But what?”

Seeing that Du Jingyi was a little inconvenient, Gu Shaoyu glanced at the two maids behind him. They immediately reacted and left first, closing the door tightly when they left.

 When only two people were left in the room, Du Jingyi took out the handkerchief.

"When I was drinking tea in the Queen's Palace, I felt that the taste was different from what I had drunk before, so I vomited it out. It was all on this handkerchief. I don't know exactly what it was, so I asked the general to check it out. Good check."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu, whose face was still normal, immediately sank, and his eyes became cold when he looked at the handkerchief.

“I’m going to check what’s on the veil. Do you have any idea who made it?”

“Logically speaking, drinking tea in the Queen’s Palace should be done by the Queen, but having to fight with my concubine on the first day of the meeting, I always feel that this is not something the Queen would do.”

"By the way, the daughter of the Xing family is now a royal concubine. I look at her as if she is pregnant."

Gu Shaoyu was not surprised when he heard this, and then said.

"She is pregnant. Your Majesty told me and Guo Xiang personally today that the baby will be born around October."

Du Jingyi was surprised.

“Around October? Does that mean it’s been three or four months now? It’s so easy to hide it? It doesn’t seem to be an easy thing.”

If the daughter of the Xing family was born from the belly of her aunt, Mrs. Xing, her relationship with them would be closer. However, due to the behavior of the eldest wife of the Xing family, Du Jingyi did not think that the eldest daughter of the Xing family would be reliable.

 Hence, he also said it as a reminder.

"She also sent congratulatory gifts a few days ago. I thought it was just to win over her, but she didn't expect that she took it into account. Now if I return the gift or return the gift, I will give it to her. What a good excuse. To the outside world, we can just say that we congratulate her on her pregnancy. It’s really troublesome to have her hairless head pinched." "What are you afraid of? She has a good plan. We have a wall ladder. Cousin Zhao will be coming over in the next few days, and when the time comes, I will deliver the things to his yard and tell the outside world that it is the Xing family's own dealings. We are just a bridge in the middle, and no one can say anything."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi's eyes lit up.

“Cousin Zhao is coming again. What are you here for this time?”

"Who knows about him? He always comes and goes like the wind, but I heard from the person who sent the news that there is someone you miss with him going north this time."

"who?"

 “Doctor Xia.”

“Huh? The two of them? Going north together?!”

It really felt like seeing a snowstorm on a summer night, and Du Jingyi couldn't believe his ears.

However, she soon figured out what was going on. Dr. Xia had made a special trip to Shuzhou before, and Xing Zhao had been to that place many times, so it was not surprising that the two had something to talk about.

It’s just that the man and the unmarried woman were traveling together. Du Jingyi couldn’t help but smile, so he said with a surprised smile.

"Is it possible that there is something between the two of them..."

"I don't know. You can ask yourself when someone comes. Calculating the time, it only takes a day or two. I could have rushed to see the excitement of the ceremony, but I was delayed for a while on the way, and there was nothing I could do."

"Good thing, good thing. If the two of them can make it happen, then my aunt's many years of knots will be resolved. Dr. Xia is a very good person. Although I don't understand some of her ideas, she respects others very much. On the contrary, he is quite similar to Cousin Zhao in that he is good at understanding people."

Du Jingyi said what he wanted to do to bring the two of them together, while Gu Shaoyu watched quietly.

His eyes always showed a sense of doting inadvertently, but the joints of the handkerchief held in his hand were very clear.

The couple talked for a while, and then heard Cai’s mother’s voice outside.

“General, madam, the table is ready. Do you want to go over now?”

 “Well, let’s go.”

They both put on comfortable clothes and headed towards the yard where the children were.

 Walking on the moon, there is a rare sense of purity. The couple holds hands like a newlywed couple. It is as sweet as honey but also has a sense of solidity that has sailed through thousands of sails.

“It won’t happen this year. If it’s next year...or after all these things are over, I’ll take you to see the wind, frost, rain and snow in Cezhou. Although it’s severe, you’ll feel insignificant when you’re in it.”

"Cezhou? I'm really curious, but I'm not curious about what the general said. I'm curious about how the business in and around the city is going now?"

Gu Shaoyu rarely relaxed, then tightened her hand and replied with a smile.

“You are indeed a good businessman, and you always keep your business in mind.”

“What’s wrong with making money? Money can save lives at critical moments, right?”

When Gu Shaoyu heard this, he didn't refute it. His wife's hobby was making money. This was something he had known for a long time, so he agreed.

“Yes, if there is something that doesn’t work for you in the mall in the future, just use your husband’s name as a first-class man with a different surname. I think Black and White will give you a little more face.”

"General, do you really mean what you said?" (End of this chapter)
